Curtain supportsv are usually carried by brackets, which brackets are secured to the window casing. It is desirable to have a reasonably good ht between the ends of the roller and the bracket supporting the roller so that the pintles with which the curtain roller `1s usually supplied will not be detached from the bracket. The present invention is designed to alford a simple and convenient means for adjusting the brackets so that the curtain rolls may be perfectly fitted even though there may be some variation in placing the brackets, or in the lengths of the rolls. VThe invention also contemplatesv as a common supl" porting means, or bracket, a carryingof the curtain rods which are readily detachable from the brackets and may accommodate the adjustment of the brackets for the curtain roll. Features and details of theinvention will appear from the specifica-tion and claims;

A preferred embodiment of the invention.

is illustrated in the accompanying drawings as follows Fig. l shows a. perspective view of thel assembleddevice. f

Fig. 2 a front elevation ofthe Vdevice en-l Fig. 5 a section on the line 5-.5 in Fig. 4. 1 marks the window casing and 2 the curtain roller. The roller is provided with pintles 3 which extend through ears 4 on brack- Cil ets 5. The brackets are provided with openf ings 6. rlhese openings have an enlargedl portion 7 which is adapted to receive the head of a screw 10 and leading from this enl largement are lateral portions 8 and from the lateral portions 8 are a plurality of vertically extending branches 9. These parts are such that with the screw nearly set up it is possible to insert the head of the screw through the enlargement 7 and then to move the bracket laterally so that the screw will pass into the branch 9 giving to the assembly a proper adjustment for the vcurtain roller. It will be noted that with the three branches 9 in each openingand with these openings tain rod.

supplied in each bracket it gives six steps of I l adj ustment` that are readily available.

The brackets' are alsofs'uppliedwith ears 11 and telescopic curtain rods 12 have gend turns-13 which are provided with flanges 14 55 adaptedtovembrace the ears` 11. The ears are provided with detents 15 and the turns with corresponding detents 16. The rods can be readily.y assembled,V therefore, by 'a rear-v ward movement oftheturns 13j on the ears 60 11,' the'metal of the parts yielding to permit 1 the passage of the detents 16 alongA the reargto apointthat itsnaps intothe depression of the detent 15. rlhemetal of the-ear llrand the metal o f the turn is freeto spring*apart*` at the center tof accommodate'this movement.

i. A. similar curtainrod 17 is arrangedbelow the rod'12 and has end turns 18 engaging ears 19 similar to the ears 11, except slightly A shorter. The same manner of yielding-ly at 70 taching the rod`17 to the ears 19 is used with this rod as with the -rod 12. 1 i Y i What Iiclaim Ias new is y 1.
